===========================================================================
       FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS:

       Latin American Theoretical INformatics (LATIN 2014)
       March 31 - April 4, 2014, Montevideo, Uruguay
===========================================================================

       A series of Symposia in Theoretical Computer Science was launched in
       1992, to be held in Latin America: LATIN (Latin American Theoretical
       INformatics). This is the eleventh event of the series, after Sao Paulo,
       Brazil (1992), Valparaiso, Chile (1995), Campinas, Brazil (1998), Punta
       del Este, Uruguay (2000), Cancun, Mexico (2002), Buenos Aires, Argentina
       (2004), Valdivia, Chile (2006), Buzios, Brazil (2008), Oaxaca, Mexico
       (2010), and Arequipa, Peru (2012).

       We seek papers presenting original research in theoretical computer
       science, including, but not limited to: algorithms (approximation,
       online, randomized, algorithmic game theory, etc.), analytic
       combinatorics and analysis of algorithms, automata theory and formal
       languages, coding theory and data compression, combinatorial algorithms,
       combinatorial optimization, combinatorics and graph theory, complexity
       theory, computational algebra, computational biology, computational
       geometry, computational number theory, cryptology, databases and
       information retrieval, data structures, formal methods and security,
       Internet and the web, parallel and distributed computing, pattern
       matching, programming language theory, and random structures.

       Proceedings containing the accepted extended abstracts will be published
       by Springer-Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
       series. Printed versions will be available at the conference.

       ---- SUBMISSION ----

       Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in English no longer
       than 12 pages (including the bibliography) on letter-size paper using at
       least 11-point font in Springer LNCS format. If more space is needed, a
       clearly marked appendix, to be read at the discretion of the program
       committee, may be included if desired. Simultaneous submission of papers
       to any other conference with published proceedings, as well as the
       submission of previously published papers, is not allowed. Instructions
       for electronic submissions will be posted at the conference web site,

       http://www.fing.edu.uy/eventos/latin2014.

       ---- IMRE SIMON TEST-OF-TIME AWARD ----

       Starting in 2012, an award is given to the LATIN paper deemed to be most
       influential among all those published at least ten years prior to the
       current edition of the conference. Papers published in the LATIN
       proceedings up to and including 2004 are eligible for the 2014 award.

       ---- LOCATION ----

       Montevideo, a port city, the capital of Uruguay and home to its largest
       University, the Universidad de la Republica, is a perfect destination
       for travelers looking for a relaxing stroll past colonial era buildings
       and along beautiful beaches. The Ciudadela Gateway, the only remaining
       section of the wall that once surrounded the entire city, now serves as
       the entrance to Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo's oldest neighborhood. Home to
       churches, museums, and theaters, at night the area comes alive with
       nightclubs playing Tango and Candombe music for crowds of dancers.
